At the time I used the name of that game as an argument to convince people of the correct spelling :D
:pumpkin:

Now you can just use Microsoft Word :rolleyes: I get so irritated when I'm using someone else's computer (of course mine are all Australianised), and I see red squiggly lines all over the place because I write "favourite" and "specialise" :irritated

ok, im in Fiesty Herd 3 now. desktop is pretty much the same as Edgy, just that the network manager applet comes by default, and upon clickin it, i get either a 'Wired connection' or 'Static configuration...' option.

the most noticable feature is the Control Centre. pretty much like teh Control panel in XP. it's divided into hardware, Look & Feel, System and Other categories. this certainly feels better.

Ahh, now we're talking! :star:

The best thing about the old Colonisation is that it fit on one floppy. Now that's a good thing in a small package.

Haha sorry boss :)

Then again, if you want to play Doom 4 just turn off all the lights in your house and you're all set ;)

In other news, Half-Life 3 has just been released too:

Is that from a game!!! :eek:

Need help over here.
I downloaded a precompiled binary distribution program. and then copy it to usr/local/ncftp dir.
how can I make the program in that specified dir available everywhere? just like I can execute program in usr/bin folder anywhere in the terminal.

Just like in DOS/Windows there is an environmental variable called PATH that keeps track of the paths indeed which contain executable commands.

echo $PATH

will list those paths. What you can do now is put yours in one of those paths. The convention is to put it in /usr/local/bin (which is always on the PATH in every linux).

From what you're saying I'm not sure if you just have one binary file or a whole directory of files. Only binaries go into bin/ directories, the rest are stored elsewhere.

Cool, it's working. :D I put the binaries I needed to usr/local/bin. the other way is I append directory I mentioned before to the PATH variable.
